This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on previsions, the reciprocating internal combustion engine will continue to be widely used in all sectors: transport, industry, and energy production. Therefore, its development, while complying with the limitations of pollutants as well as CO2 emission levels and maintaining or increasing performance, will certainly continue for the next few decades.In the last three decades, a significant effort has been made to reduce pollutant emission levels. More recently, attention has been given to CO2 emission levels too.It is widely recognized that one single technology will not completely solve the problem of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. Rather, the different technologies already available will have to be integrated, and new technologies developed, to obtain substantial CO2 abatement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on clean transport and mobility essential to the modern world. It discusses internal combustion engines (ICEs) and alternatives like battery electric vehicles (BEVs) which are growing fast. Alternatives to ICEs start from a very low base and face formidable environmental, material availability, and economic challenges to unlimited and rapid growth. Hence ICEs will continue to be the main power source for transport for decades to come and have to be continuously improved to improve transport sustainability. The book highlights the need to assess proposed changes in the existing transport system on a life cycle basis. The volume includes chapters discussing the challenges faced by ICEs as well as chapters on novel fuels and fuel/ engine interactions which help in this quest to improve the efficiency of ICE and reduce exhaust pollutants. This book will be of interest to those in academia and industry alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers have studied on alternative fuels that can be used with gasoline and diesel fuels. Alternative fuels such as hydrogen, acetylene, natural gas, ethanol and biofuels also uses in internal combustion engines. Hydrogen in the gas phase is about 14 times lighter than the air. Moreover, it is the cleanest fuel in the world. On the other hand because of its high ignition limit (4,Äì75%), low ignition energy, needs special design to use as pure hydrogen in internal combustion engines. It is proved that hydrogen improves the combustion, emissions and performance, when is added as 20% to fuels. Natural gas is generally consisting of methane (85,Äì96%) and it can be used in both petrol and diesel engines. Ethanol can be used as pure fuel or mixed with different fuels in internal combustion engines. In this section, the effects of natural gas, hydrogen, natural gas + hydrogen (HCNG), ethanol, ethanol + gasoline, ethanol + hydrogen, acetylene, acetylene + gasoline mixtures on engine performance and emissions have been examined.

Book excerpt: The internal combustion engine was invented around 1790 by various scientists and engineers worldwide. Since then the engines have gone through many modifications and improvements. Today, different applications of engines form a significant technological importance in our everyday lives, leading to the evolution of our modern civilization. The invention of diesel and gasoline engines has definitely changed our lifestyles as well as shaped our priorities. The current engines serve innumerable applications in various types of transportation, in harsh environments, in construction, in diverse industries, and also as back-up power supply systems for hospitals, security departments, and other institutions. However, heavy duty or light duty engines have certain major disadvantages, which are well known to everyone. With the increasing usage of diesel and gasoline engines, and the constantly rising number of vehicles worldwide, the main concern nowadays is engine exhaust emissions. This book looks at basic phenomena related to diesel and gasoline engines, combustion, alternative fuels, exhaust emissions, and mitigations.
Download or read book Hydrogen Enrichment and Thermochemical Recuperation in Internal Combustion Engines written by David R. Vernon and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thermochemical recuperation process uses endothermic reformation reactions to upgrade a portion of an engine's primary fuel into a hydrogen-rich gas, thereby converting part of the exhaust heat from an internal combustion engine into chemical potential energy. Enriching the primary fuel air mixture of the internal combustion engine with this hydrogen-rich gas potentially enables combustion with very lean or dilute mixtures, resulting in higher efficiency and lower emissions as compared to standard combustion regimes. It may be possible to simplify thermochemical recuperation system architecture by directly mixing exhaust gases with the fuel in the reformation process to supply a significant portion of the heat and water required. To evaluate the effect of direct exhaust gas mixing on ethanol autothermal reformation, this work experimentally and theoretically investigated dilution with a mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide to simulate an exhaust composition, in combination with a range of inlet temperatures, to simulate exhaust gas temperatures, at a constant steam to carbon ratio. Parameters such as the chemical coefficient of performance, chemical energy output divided by chemical energy input, are introduced to better enable quantification of thermochemical recuperation. Trends in yield and performance metrics for ethanol autothermal reformation were observed under operating conditions across a range of oxygen to carbon ratio, a range of dilution amount, and a range of inlet temperature. For high inlet temperature cases, dilution increases hydrogen yield and chemical coefficient of performance suggesting that direct exhaust mixing would be beneficial. However, for low inlet temperatures, dilution decreased hydrogen yield and other performance metrics suggesting that direct exhaust mixing would not be beneficial. Dilution decreased methane production for many conditions. High inlet temperature conditions were found to cause homogeneous oxidation and homogenous conversion of ethanol upstream of the catalyst leading to high conversions of ethanol and high methane yields before reaching the catalyst. Coke formation rates varied over two orders of magnitude, with high coke formation rates for the high inlet temperature cases and low coke formation rates for the low inlet temperature cases. Dilution decreased the rate of coke formation. Models of intrinsic rate phenomenon were constructed in this study. The models predict that mass transport rates will be faster than the rate of chemical reaction kinetics over the range of ethanol concentrations and temperatures measured in the catalyst monolith both with and without dilution. Bounding cases for heat generation and transfer rates indicate that these phenomena could be the rate limiting mechanism or could be faster than both chemical kinetics and mass transport rates depending upon the distribution of oxidation heat between the catalyst and gas stream. Based on these results direct exhaust gas mixing is expected to be a practical method for supplying heat and water vapor for ethanol autothermal reformation in thermochemical recuperation systems when exhaust temperatures are above a certain threshold. For low exhaust temperatures direct exhaust gas mixing can supply water vapor but reduces other performance metrics.
